“ They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship,
to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe,
and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44
All the believers were together and had everything in common.
Acts 2: 42-44
No person can know themselves until they see themselves against the backdrop of their largest vision of God’s world, an environment which is of God’s creation. There is a wealth of wisdom to be gained from the moun-tain top view of the far country. We begin to know where we live when we see God’s vast creation. We begin to know who we are when we know the power of God’s Spirit as it touches our lives.
God’s ever urgent call to us is to recognize who we are and know where we live. He calls us to a vision of wholeness, which provides a grander perspective of His world and our part in His work.
Worship is a purposeful withdrawal from the mundane activities of life in order that we may see the largest dimensions of life in clear focus. God reveals himself, unfolds His purpose, and makes His pathway known through worship. During the summer months we often find ourselves in the great outdoors of God’s creation, exploring new territories, seeing new vistas and energized by new adventures. Let your adventures include adventures of faithful, prayerful, and festive praise through worship in the Lord’s House. Give God the Glory in all things…. Worship with others gathered in Jesus Name at His ever Expanding Table.
The day of Pentecost is almost upon us. 50 days following the resurrection, the church received the power promised by Jesus, the coming of the Holy Spirit. We, as part of the body, rejoice in this gift of God and can an-ticipate the movement of the Spirit among us as we come together for worship, prayer, praise and proclamation on June 9th. Make you plans to be part of the celebration of the Birth of the Church!
Over the past few months members of our congrega-tion have noted the dramatic changes to our sacred space for worship with the renovation of the chancel and baptistery. Following the leadership of our Reno-vation Team, we have just completed the “Chalice Stone Wall” and put new flooring in the narthex of the church. The team is continuing in their work and is planning to meet on June 5th at 6:00 Pm to continue their discussion and plans for enhancement of our fa-cilities. Pray for the team and their ongoing work as they are doing an excellent job!

Saturday
July 20th
Plans are already underway for our annual Vacation Bible
School for New Hope Children.
This all-day Saturday event will be full of lessons, activi-
ties, crafts and more to help our children grow in their
Christian faith. This year’s theme is: Y eeHaw, Celebrat-
ing God’s Greatest Gift.
There will be many opportunities for teen and adult volun-
teers to pitch in and help make this a memorable day for
the children of New Hope; so, don’t wait to be drafted!
Tell Anthony you will help before he has to ask!

How is the Pentecost offering used? To help our new church movement continue to take root! Each year, half of this offering stays in the local Region where it’s collected to start and uphold new churches. The other half is used across the United States and Canada by New Church Ministry to support the recruiting, assessing, training and coaching of new church leaders at events like Leadership Academy.
